المَزامِير 42
| مِثْلَمَا تَشْتَاقُ الْغِزْلاَنُ إِلَى جَدَاوِلِ الْمِيَاهِ، هَكَذَا تَشْتَاقُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ يَااَللهُ. | ١ 1 |
[For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.] As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
| نَفْسِي عَطْشَى إِلَى اللهِ الإِلَهِ الْحَيِّ، فَمَتَى أَجِيءُ وَأَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ اللهِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
| قَدْ صَارَتْ دُمُوعِي طَعَامِي الْوَحِيدَ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، إِذْ قِيلَ لِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ: «أَيْنَ إِلَهُكَ»؟ | ٣ 3 |
My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"
| حِينَ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي نَفْسِي تُعَاوِدُنِي هَذِهِ الذِّكْرَى: كَيْفَ كُنْتُ أُرَافِقُ حُشُودَ الْعَابِدِينَ الْمُحْتَفِلِينَ بِالْعِيدِ وَأَقُودُهُمْ فِي الْحُضُورِ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ، هَاتِفاً مَعَهُمْ فَرَحاً وَحَمْداً. | ٤ 4 |
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go in the tent of the Majestic One, to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
| لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُكْتَئِبَةٌ يَانَفْسِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا أَنْتِ قَلِقَةٌ فِي دَاخِلِي؟ تَرَجَّيِ اللهَ، فَإِنِّي سَأَظَلُّ أَحْمَدُهُ، لأَنَّهُ عَوْنِي وَإِلَهِي. | ٥ 5 |
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.
| إِلَهِي، إِنَّ نَفْسِي مُكْتَئِبَةٌ فِيَّ، لِذَلِكَ أَذْكُرُكَ مِنْ وَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ، وَمِنْ جِبَالِ حَرْمُونَ، وَمِنْ جَبَلِ مِصْعَرَ. | ٦ 6 |
My soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
| أَمْوَاجُ النَّكَبَاتِ تَوَالَتْ عَلَيَّ كَمَا تَتَوَالَى مِيَاهُ شَلاَلاَتِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your breakers and waves have swept over me.
| يُبْدِي الرَّبُّ لِي رَحْمَتَهُ فِي النَّهَارِ، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ تُرَافِقُنِي تَرْنِيمَتُهُ، صَلاَةٌ لإِلَهِ حَيَاتِي. | ٨ 8 |
Jehovah will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
| أَقُولُ لِلهِ صَخْرَتِي: «لِمَاذَا نَسِيْتَنِي؟» لِمَاذَا أَطُوفُ نَائِحاً مِنْ مُضَايَقَةِ الْعَدُوِّ؟ | ٩ 9 |
I will ask God, my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
| لَقَدْ عَيَّرَنِي مُضَايِقِيَّ وَسَحَقُوا عِظَامِي، إِذْ يَقُولُونَ لِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ: أَيْنَ إِلَهُكَ؟» | ١٠ 10 |
As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"
| لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُكْتَئِبَةٌ يَانَفْسِي، وَلِمَاذَا أَنْتِ قَلِقَةٌ؟ تَرَجَّيِ اللهَ، فَإِنِّي سَأَظَلُّ أَحْمَدُهُ، لأَنَّهُ عَوْنِي وَإِلَهِي. | ١١ 11 |
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God. For I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.
